Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a processing method for a polishing disc used for polishing crystal glass, belonging to the field of glass polishing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Crystal glass processing includes two steps: grinding and polishing. Polishing is achieved by using a polishing pad on the crystal glass. However, polishing pads typically use soft abrasives with small particle sizes, whose hardness cannot exceed that of the workpiece. For example, using a rare-earth polishing pad made of cerium oxide or other rare-earth polishing powder would result in scratches on the workpiece during relative movement if high-hardness abrasives were used, making polishing impossible. Existing polishing pads mainly use cerium oxide-containing pads, with cerium oxide content exceeding 60%. However, the traditional method involves directly placing the mixed gel into a mold and compacting it under low pressure at room temperature. This type of polishing pad for crystal glass has the following drawbacks: it is easily dissolved in water after use, requiring auxiliary materials for polishing; the polishing process is prone to scratches or insufficient transparency; and the loose structure of ordinary polishing pads leads to insufficient lifespan. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a processing method for a polishing disc used for polishing crystal glass, solving the problem of how to achieve good water resistance and prevent scratches from appearing on the product.
[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a method for processing a polishing disc for polishing crystal glass, characterized in that the method includes the following steps:
[0005] A. Weigh the raw material used for processing the polishing disc, wherein the raw material comprises the following components in parts by weight:
[0006] Cerium oxide polishing powder: 10; resin: 11-13; sodium sulfate: 13-15; the resin is selected from one or more of epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester resin and phenolic resin.
[0007] B. Mix the raw materials evenly to form a slurry mixture, add it to the polishing disc mold, and then press it under high pressure at a processing temperature of 80℃~90℃ to form a polishing disc; the pressure of the high-pressure pressing is controlled above 15MPa.
[0008] By using cerium oxide polishing powder and sodium sulfate as raw materials for the polishing pad, and mixing them with resin to form a slurry, the mixture is placed into a polishing pad mold. Under high temperature conditions of 80℃~90℃ and high pressure pressing controlled at 15MPa or higher (equivalent to a pressure of 150kg or higher), the sodium sulfate (effective component equivalent to sodium oxide) in the raw materials undergoes a high-temperature solid-phase reaction with cerium oxide, forming a sodium-containing cerate compound, sodium-cerium composite oxide, rather than a simple mixture of sodium sulfate and cerium oxide. Furthermore, the high-pressure pressing results in a highly dense polishing pad, preventing looseness and giving it excellent water resistance and a dense structure, preventing dissolution in water and thus extending its service life. More importantly, the high-pressure control of this invention, combined with the high-temperature conditions, effectively enables the formation of a high-temperature solid-phase reaction to form the sodium-containing cerate compound, sodium-cerium composite oxide. Simultaneously, the polishing pad formed under high temperature and high pressure has a smooth surface, preventing scratches during crystal glass processing and ensuring product quality.
[0009] In the above-mentioned processing method for polishing discs used for polishing crystal glass, preferably, the high-pressure pressing pressure is controlled at 16MPa to 20MPa. By employing ultra-high pressing pressure, not only can the high-temperature solid-phase reaction be more effectively promoted, but a dense structure can also be formed, better preventing loosening. This pressing pressure differs from the ordinary compaction process using around 1.5MPa. This is because it facilitates the high-temperature solid-phase reaction at 80℃ to 90℃, effectively forming sodium-containing cerium salt compounds (sodium-cerium composite oxides), rather than a conventional chemical reaction or physical mixing process.
[0010] In the above-described processing method for polishing discs used for polishing crystal glass, preferably, the particle size of the cerium oxide polishing powder is in the nanometer range, specifically 10 nm to 30 nm. By ensuring the particle size of the main material, cerium oxide, is in the nanometer range, combined with the high pressure and high temperature conditions during pressing, a high-gloss surface can be formed on the surface of the finished polishing disc, effectively preventing scratches and other problems caused by excessively large particle sizes on the surface of the polishing disc.
[0011] In the above-described processing method for the polishing pad used for polishing crystal glass, preferably, the cerium oxide polishing powder also contains 1.0% to 1.2% by mass of rare earth lanthanum oxide. This better synergizes the properties of cerium oxide, improves the polishing effect, more effectively avoids scratches and other phenomena during the polishing process, and ensures the polishing quality of the product.
[0012] In the above-described processing method for polishing discs used for polishing crystal glass, preferably, the high-pressure pressing time is 8 to 12 hours. This ensures that the high-temperature solid-phase reaction during high-temperature and high-pressure pressing is fully formed, resulting in better product quality.
[0013] In the above-described processing method for a polishing disc used for polishing crystal glass, preferably, the surface finish of the polishing disc is at the nanometer level. Because the polishing disc is formed by pressing under high temperature and high pressure, the surface density is high, and the resulting high-temperature solid-phase reaction products better ensure the smoothness and finish of the surface, thus improving the polishing quality and giving the polished product a better surface finish. Furthermore, the nanometer-level surface finish can reduce light scattering, increase the transmittance of the lens, and thereby improve the imaging quality of optical instruments.
[0014] In the above-described processing method for a polishing pad used for polishing crystal glass, preferably, the resin is a mixture of epoxy resin and unsaturated polyester resin, and the mass ratio of the epoxy resin to the unsaturated polyester resin is 1:0.2 to 0.3. This helps to better ensure the quality of the adhesion and results in superior adhesion performance.
[0015] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. The polishing disc of the present invention has the advantage of good water resistance and will not dissolve in water. In addition, it can form a high-density polishing disc when pressed under high pressure, thereby improving the service life of the polishing disc.
[0017] 2. The most important aspect of the high-pressure control in this invention is that it effectively forms a high-temperature solid-phase reaction under high-temperature conditions to create sodium-containing cerate compounds, specifically sodium cerium composite oxides. Simultaneously, the polished disc, produced by high-temperature solid-phase reaction and high-pressure pressing, has a smooth surface, preventing scratches during crystal glass processing and ensuring product quality.
